My Grandmother's scarves

Awhile ago my mom gave me these two boxes filled with my grandmother's scarves, handkerchiefs and gloves. I found them the other day when we were cleaning out our closet. What a wonderful collection. I love how they are both vintage and modern at the same time.

The real treasures are these hand embroidered handkerchiefs. She had the same initial (L) which makes them even more special. And then there's the gloves. Don't you just love them? I wonder where she wore them and what she wore them with.

This piece of paper with ways to style them was just an added bonus. Thank you grandma. I wish you knew how much I love them.
